MS Leadership Academy

Serenity is the setting, positive the atmosphere, energetic the mood, and united the front of this season's MS Leadership Academy. As a member of the staff, my experience has been that of an observer, and what I've seen and felt has been astounding. To my left is a table-full of men, black and white, tied together by mental illness, budding friendship, and Spades! Held at the Episcopal retreat, the Gray Center, it's easy to lose yourself in its bucolic beauty and restful rural placement overlooking a lovely lake, complete with turtle-covered logs and goose families. When I leave here tomorrow, I'll do so armed with a renewed sense of pride in my position as a survivor living with mental illness, and I'll be in good company.
